Couple minutes later…..
Jerk Pork and Ribs – The pork meat was a shoulder. Tender, succulent, bursting with flavors. The fat content melted with soft silkiness to charred with seasonings makes this a wonderfully delicious piece of meat. The ribs were a little on the dry side. The distinct Jerk spice marinate was very prevalent. There is no light dusting or sprinkling here. This is long marinating and slow roasting. The ONLY way for Jerk preparations.
The restaurant itself is dimly lit with several tables and chairs. There is a dance floor or open space area. Obviously, this place doubles as a “Dance Hall” spot for Jamaican style partying. There are many other Jamaican specialties on the menu. Party on mon.

Travel, eat, play, fun…with an opinion.
This obviously isnt a real Jamaican Restaurant. Its Guyanese or Trini trying to pass as Jamaican as usual. Your trying to hard to be Jamaican and that just gave you away. Be yourself and serve your native dishes. Stop being a #2 someone else and be a #1 you.
Interesting. What gave them away?
